CHILD STORIES AND PLAY
143
One could whistle, and another could sing,
And the other could play on the violin—
Such joy was there at my wedding,
New Year's Day in the morning.
Oh that I was where I would be!
Then would I be where I am not!
But where I am I must be,
And where I would be, I cannot.
In time of prosperity friends will be plenty,
In time of adversity not one amongst
twenty.
See a pin and pick it up,
All the day you'll have good luck;
See a pin and let it lay,
Bad luck you'll have all the day.
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me ree,
None are so blind as those that won't see.
